National columnist, Terence Moore's headline in an article prepared for Fanhouse on Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame speech, wrote, "Jordan went from classy to clown." Terence hit the mark and no matter what excuse you choose to use, Jordan is "ultra-competitive" or Jordan has a big ego and that made him great and that ego was coming out in his speech, Michael Jordan was a clown.

No one doubts Jordan's greatness on the court and one "from the heart" speech will not change that perception. However, the legacy of Jordan, the human being, will forever be altered by his rude and vindictive speech. Michael has a right to his feelings, and to express them openly on his day at the Hall of Fame, or at any other time, but as ESPN columnist Rick Reilly wrote, "It [his speech] was tactless, egotistical and unbecoming. When it was done, nobody wanted to be like Mike." That is the best thing to come out of the speech.

One can be great in sport but lacking in being human.  Perhaps the real Jordan finally could come out as he had reached the hall!

Gaylen - I must say, some of the things I heard from the Hall of Fame induction speech really surprised me.  I think part of it has got to be that he knows he is no longer "the guy" when it comes to basketball.  Plus, he hasn't had the success I am sure he wanted in other arenas of basketball, such as team ownership.  His speech shocked me, as it did seem like he has some issues, and seems bitter about things.
